Background information
The EOI of Oviedo is a public funded institution dependent to the local Educational Office: “Consejería de Educación, Cultura y Deporte del Principado de Asturias”, dedicated to the teaching of modern languages to adults or young adults over 16+. The main goal of the school is to develop, on the one hand the student’s ability to use a language effectively as a vehicle for general communication, and on the other, to teach the respect for and the acknowledgement of the linguistic and cultural diversity as a tool for the dialogue between different peoples.
Our school offers regular language courses in English, French, German and Italian from A1 to C1 blended courses (`That’s English´) and training courses for CLIL teachers.
The school is the official certificating institution in Spain.
More than 90% of our students are adults who want to enrich their career prospects by learning new languages and thus improve their chances of finding a job.
Most of our Basic German Level students are under 18; many of our Basic English Level students are unemployed or immigrants. The rest of the levels are filled with university students or professionals of different fields.
